Alkami is hiring an Engineering Manager for Partnerships to lead a team focused on delivering the integrations, identity verification, and account opening infrastructure that connects financial institutions with their members. This team's work spans the full application lifecycle — from OMB SSO and enrollment flows to KYC decisioning, funding pipelines, and a growing public API platform — requiring strong technical judgment across multiple product domains, close partnership with Implementation and Product, and a relentless bias toward shipping reliable software for clients in production.
This is a hybrid player-coach role. The right person will lead through the work by setting direction, mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, and staying close enough to the code and systems to help the team make strong technical decisions. At Alkami, this type of engineering manager role is designed to combine technical leadership, people leadership, and hands-on problem solving rather than operating as a pure people manager.
